Do you guys wash meat before you cook?

I just saw my mom wash bacon in the sink and it reminded me something from my nutrition class, you're not supposed to wash meat or infect surfaces and cause foodborne illness. Told my mom about it but she dismissed it.

Ah, then he's likely raising your rent constantly because you manage to set records for utility bills.

Or other tenants complaining about not having enough hot water

We all have our own hot water tank. So no, no neighbors complaining. I also know his brother and he has auto pay on his bill so he don't even look at them because he is to busy over seas.

Ah ok, well that's good.

I’d be more concerned about plastic leaching in that scenario.

Our fellow "sociopaths" went to bed, time to whip out the bacon.

I usually just wash my hands before cooking as I try to keep my meat away from anything that might burn it.

I sometimes wash my meat before I play with it.

Don't play with your food.

Or at least wrap it in non-porous plastic first...

No to red meat. Never saw anyone wash raw bacon or a steak. Years ago...they used to wash raw chicken in the US....but because it led to cross contamination, it's no longer recommended. Wash fruit unless you want fruit flies in your house.

I would have gotten back handed back in the day, like Mortal Kombat style.

Oh she got mad by the way. I just said "dismissed" just to make it less worse than it was. Funny part is that she's a nurse too and can be a germaphobe for the most part. But not with washing bacon apparently.

I rinse it off.

Not completely sure what you're saying. Are you saying there's a chance to infect other things because you get water on the meat and it can spread?

Yes - depending on the type of meat and where you got it, it can be a good idea to wash it with clean water before cooking.
You have no idea what happened to the meat before it got to you - cooking meat will kill whatever bacteria and other organisms are on it, but it will not remove anything that was created by them prior to killing it, or other contaminants like debris or chemicals.
It should be washed before getting to you, but to be sure there is nothing wrong with washing it again.

Pretty much. That and your hands of course.

Honestly, it's hard for me to believe because I'm just reading this information off from my class's textbook. Not saying you could be wrong. Just hard to believe which is right. It reminds me of this one time where I saw a random dental video that you're not actually suppose to rinse toothpaste off after brushing your teeth. People in the comments section were debating about it lol.

I'm in Australia and have never seen anyone wash/rinse meat. The only issue in prep is it's better to use a different board for meat and veg.

But this is all dependant on your local chain and production, although washing would offer no benefit to the internal contamination. Better off cooking it and using heat to destroy and potential bacteria.
